Escalloped Oysters

Butter a 2 1/2-quart casserole. Check oysters for shell pieces.

Crushed crackers, oysters, butter, salt and pepper, about or 3 layers. Pour any oyster juice over top. Scald milk.

Pour over all. Bake in hot oven at 400° for 30 to 40 minutes.

Insert knife in center; should come out clean, like a custard pie. This can be doubled easily; use a larger casserole.
